Varietals: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca
Alcohol: 19.0%
Tasting notes: ”Deep ruby red in the glass. Expect plenty of floral, woodspice, smoke, cedar and ripe dark fruit on the nose. Medium bodied and very spicy on the palate, with more rich black fruits and complex wood notes. The finish is medium-long, spicy and rich. Perfect for berry-laden desserts - especially those coated in chocolate. Solid value.” (VINTAGES panel, May 2010)
Review: “This is a straight forward, deeply coloured, fairly dense ruby port with a ripe plummy, slightly earthy and oxidative nose. Powerful with a sweet, smooth middle then a fairly hot finish. Tasted February 2011.” 85 points, (David Lawrason, winealign.com)
